Mine did that a couple of times when I was first feeding FT and trying to get the logistics down.

Open tub. Hold rat with tongs. Drop rat by mistake.

Flicker of the tongue...Something smells like a rat. There's something emanating heat. It must be a rat. I'm gonna get it.

Only the rat is behind her and I'm figuring out how to get her back in the tub she's climbed halfway out of with this very intense look on her face.
